Sollie: Coaches impressed with his talent
■ Continued from Page 2B
tion he had on the football field. I
didn’t pay much attention to his
past reputation at all. As far as I
was concerned, everything that
happened was in the past.”
Offensive coordinator Dirk
Koetter said he didn’t know of
McCullough’s past reputation
and, so far, the tailback hasn’t
done anything to make him be
lieve he is anything but a good
kid.
“He pays attention, he asks
questions, he works hard in prac
tice and that is all I can judge him
on because that is the only way I
see him,” Koetter said.
McCullough said be is more
than ready to put everything be
hind him and get on with the
business of being a student and
improving as a football player.
“I’m getting more used to the
offense so everything is becoming
more natural. Everything is com
ing along now,” he said.
Despite an early season knee in
jury that kept him out of three
games, McCullough leads the
team in rushing while displaying
the same elusive running style
that caused him to be more highly
rated coming out of high school
than fellow Los Angeles running
back and now current NFL player
Lawrence Philips.
“Sollie is a special cat," Koetter
said. “He’s got some special gifts
that most humans don’t have.
Whether that is vision or lateral
quickness, he’s got it. I don’t know
exactly what those big-time run
ning backs have, but he’s got it.”
Campbell is also impressed
with the talent that McCullough
possesses, especially since he still
has room to improve.
“There are still some small
things that he has to iron out but
he’s got great assets,” Campbell
said. “He is one of the smoother
runners I have ever been associat
ed with. He is kind of hypnotic
when he runs and is very decep
tive.”
What isn’t deceptive, though, is
McCullough’s character and drive
to accomplish his goals and
dreams, even in the face of adver
sity.
“He wanted to come here, and
that was his goal,” Campbell said.
“He wanted to play in the Pac-10
and now he is here, and I think he
just wants to go on with it.”
“The dream hasn’t stopped,”
McCullough said. “It was a learn
ing experience for me. All the
things that I went through made
me a better person. I am more of a
man now.”
While he won’t exactly say it,
next season’s game against USC,
the school that gave up on him, is
probably circled on McCullough’s
calender.
“I’m over it,” insists McCul
lough, who then said, “It was my
dream to go that school so I was
kind of hurt when I found out
they didn’t want me to come
there. People say it was out of
their hands, that it was someone
higher up [making the decisions],
“I don’t really care about it any
more. This is my team. Oregon is
my team, and I’m happy with be
ing here. Everything else is realiy
behind me now.”
